CONFIGURING the SERVER

.
Approved Configurations
(1) One or Two RAID Controller Cards
■
Choose one or two R2XX-PL003 LSI MegaRAID SAS 9261-8i RAID controllers listed in
Table 8
.
You will be able to control from one to sixteen drives, depending on the drive bay(s)
selected and the type of installed transition card.
Caveats
■
If you choose one RAID controller card, it is installed in PCIe slot 3.
■
If you choose two RAID controller cards, they are installed in PCIe slots 3 and 5.
■
If you selected two drive bays with nonexpander transition cards, you will need two RAID
controllers to control the maximum number of drives (16). All other drive bay configurations
require only one RAID controller card to control the maximum number of drives that can be
installed in the drive bays.
■
You can choose an optional RAID configuration (RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, or 10), which is
pre-configured at the factory. If you do not choose a RAID configuration, the disks will be
configured as a JBOD.
